I had a friend who tap-danced when I was in elementary school. I coveted her tap shoes and stuck bottle caps into the bottoms of my sneakers to pretend I could do it, too.

Oh, Maggie. You become more like a fabulous forties film star all the time! Love it.

I’m currently taking flamenco dancing classesâ€”because I’ve always wanted toâ€”and considering Irish Step dancing as well. I laugh when I tell people, because it makes me sound like I’m twelve, but the time I spend in the flamenco studio is a highlight of my week. Sometimes it’s the little things that make you happy.

Thanks for sharing yours with us.

I’m afraid the day is coming when I have to stop reading your site due to PARALYZING JEALOUSY.

I haven’t been able to find a new job since graduating with my Masters degree last December. So for the past 8 months I’ve been stuck working at the same place where I did my graduate assistantship as a contract employee for $16 an hour. Talk about a kick in the crotch. But seeing Maggie be able to do all these things courtesy of Intel makes me happy and hopeful. I doubt the amount of money Intel is spending on her top 10 ideas would be enough to pay for raises for all their employees anyway.

But enough about that. I’d rather think about tap dancing. Weee!

So I have to say that as an Intel employee I find it a little insulting that my employer told me, as well as the rest of it’s employees, that there was no money to give us raises this year. Yet two months later they’re paying someone to take tap lessons. I think it is great that you’re having such good fortune, but it still feels like a little kick in the crotch.

Hey now, kids! Don’t make me defend Mr. Kloss’s honor. He’s a married man.
